SkyShare is a cloud service that utilizes public cloud services to provide a faster, more secure and reliable, customizable and economical cloud service. SkyShare protects your privacy by preventing access to your files even by the employees of cloud services. SkyShare promotes internet freedom by protecting user's privacy to the highest extent.
SkyShare is the fastest solution for information backup and file sharing. It is 20% to 50% faster than similar services such as Dropbox or GoogleDrive. This is because SkyShare can upload or download parts of your files simultaneously to different cloud providers, and thus overcomes each clouds upload/download speed limitation.
SkyShare is the most secure cloud solution that could be used to work with popular cloud services such as Dropbox and GoogleDrive. With SkyShare, even employees who work for your cloud provider cannot access your files. SkyShare provides tunable security levels depending on the importance of the files stored.
SkyShare brings you a reliable cloud experience by allowing you to access your files on the clouds even when one of the cloud servers is not accessible due to any reason.
SkyShare is actively under development to add new exciting features. We value our first customers by accepting to implement their required features. SkyShare will also have administrative tools for business customers who need to monitor access to their files across multiple devices.
Cloud services usually impose limits on the size of the files you can upload to their servers. SkyShare pushes such limits by at least 50% so that you can upload larger files to your clouds.
SkyShare can aggregate all your public cloud accounts into one. This means you can now install just one application, SkyShare, but access your files across multiple cloud storages such as Dropbox and GoogleDrive.

SkyShare employes a cutting-edge technology that splits a file into two or more obfuscated parts that does not reveal anything about the original file. Each part is stored on a separate cloud provider, e.g., one on DropBox and one on SkyShare public cloud. The user file is recovered only if all the parts are available to be put back together. All these steps are done by the SkyShare client with no interaction from the users. The user just needs to do a one-time setup to let SkyShare knows which cloud providers are to be employed.
Other secure cloud solutions use encryption, which means a key must be remembered by the users, and so there is a need for key management. Moreover, when the files are shared with another user, either the key is revealed, or the file is decrypted and stored in the cloud in plaintext (which is accessible to the cloud provider), and then shared with a second user. SkyShare leverages these problems by sharing obfuscated parts of the file. This prevents the cloud providers from accessing the file.
SkyShare will be a freemium and available in three different versions: 1) Basic, 2) Premium, and 3) Corporate. Individual users are required to pay a subscription fee in order to access the premium version of SkyShare. Businesses and organizations must pay a monthly fee in order to purchase SkyShare Corporate which includes all the features as well as 24/7 customer support. Additionally, storing data on SkyShare cloud server requires extra payment for all three versions, if users choose to store a part of their files on our cloud.
SkyShare upcoming features
SkyShare has a novel permission management model. One particular example is that managers can set a permission for a file such that at least two secretaries are required together to access a file.
We distribute data into multiple locations such that even if one provider is down, still data can be accessed.
